These eleven clean home habits have completely changed my life!
If you live in any type of home: A detached house, apartment, or even a dorm room... eventually it is going to need to be cleaned. It's a simple fact of life that nobody can avoid.
I get asked on a semi-regular basis how I am able to keep our cottage looking relatively clean and tidy at all times. Today, I share with you my secrets.
Only... they aren't really secrets! they are simply a collection of clean home habits that have reduced the burden of cleaning altogether - simply by doing them!
I hope this encourages you to establish a cleaning system that works for you. Remember though, habits take time to form! If you see something on my list of clean home habits that you want to incorporate in your own life, make sure to give it time to 'stick!'
Happy cleaning everyone!

What is YOUR favorite cleaning chore?!?

@carollizc Год назад

Folding laundry. I love the clean smell, and the knowledge that I have clean clothes.

@igranstedt4196 Год назад

Ironing - instant gratification 😂 I don’t let my hubby iron his shirts

@ImLunaShesZeta Год назад

I love scrubbing the bathtub.

@ArrowHillCottage Год назад

I think my mom is the same way. Ironing for me would be in the ‘least favorite’ category! Ha!

I love doing a nightly reset! When I was a little girl, my dear mother would always say, “Let’s straighten things up quickly so that it looks pretty when we get up in the morning”. It usually took no more than five minutes but I loved doing it with her and in the end, looking over everything and hearing her say, “Look how lovely everything looks for tomorrow!” and then happily going to bed. I think about that every night and repeat the same process on a daily basis

@ArrowHillCottage Год назад

What a sweet memory! a wonderful habit was started in such a fun way for you! ❤️

Number 10 - at bedtime my mother always said it was time to "say goodnight to the house." - which meant walking through the house and picking up what needed picking up or put away., to fluff the cushions on the couch, to wash any dish that may have been used after dinner. I still say goodnight to my house before bedtime and I'll be 80 on my next birthday.

@ArrowHillCottage Год назад

Love this! And it’s the it great that you had a positive role model when it came to keeping your space tidy - and, in turn, you actually have good memories of it? ❤️

@shellc3509 Год назад

Great tips! For #8 ; I have a small 3 oz spray bottle I fill with windex plus small glass microfiber cloth in each of my bathrooms. Routine after brushing my teeth is to use it on the mirror / sink. Less then a minute or two each night makes it sparkle. Change the cloth out each week with regular cleaning. Huge difference!

@ArrowHillCottage Год назад

Great idea! I might have to do this for the bathroom my boys use the most. Their sink gets gross fast!

@malhanneera Год назад

Once a Week- I just take out ( literally topple),upside down ,any one drawer/ shelf with clothes or small useful items! AND then start putting them back , arranging them! I have realised that -- only 40 % of stuff goes back inside! Others -- We don t need! Then-- Next week another shelf s turn comes!👍

I am "grossed out" by my house. Have to live this way because no one else wants to help enough and I've learned I can only do so much and yelling at everyone is unproductive. It is what it is. But, I dream of a peaceful home where everything has its place and everyone picks up after themselves.

Oh man, I am so sorry you are feeling that you have no hope and aren’t comfortable in your space. Im assuming that you have addressed your feelings with the people you love with…were they un-receptive? ❤️

@Handsoflight7766 Год назад

Have a daily list; a weekly list by day, and a monthly list like cleaning the car or purse. No need to do all the kitchen cabinets in one day or the windows etc. Daily is a full load of laundry folded and put away, the dishes and counter, making the beds. Then add a task for the weekly in that day as per your schedule; for instance Monday Garbage because it’s picked up Tuesday, Tuesday is dusting, Wednesday is vacuuming and Thursday is washing floors. Catch up day is Friday. I think you know the schedule best. Eliminate Stuff it really helps to have less to maintain or take care of. For instance if you have to water a house full of plants then give some away and you’ve saved yourself a lot of time watering and repotting. You should at least try what she’s saying here also. Another trick is to pick the area you are in every time you leave a space. Leave wipes in every room to clean while you’re there. Create drawers with sections to see what you have and downsize the stuff

@lynnbaker8111 Год назад

You need to tell everyone they're responsible for taking care of their things and putting them away; then tell them that going forward if you have to pick it up it will be thrown away so you will never have to pick it up again. (You could institute the rule at first without actually throwing the item away, just let them think you did and when you give it back tell them the next time it really will be thrown out.) Also understand that things will settle to the person who needs the least...are there things I do in my house that others should do? Absolutely, but it matters more to me so I end up doing them, but not everything....closing doors can also help if you at least don't have to look at the mess. Good luck!

@s.guidry2222 Год назад

Agree with all these tips. Thank you. My thing I say is cleaning up before bed is like giving yourself a gift and my kitchen is smiling at me when I get up!

Where do you get such a positive attitude about cleaning? I need friends like you! I’ve never heard of all these sweet ideas like the reset, praying over your kids beds, and finding joy in cleaning 🤯 such a good idea to pair things. I’ve had a lot of resentment around the idea of home but you make it seem life giving.

@ArrowHillCottage Год назад

So much of life is about perspective - and that comes from life experiences. I’ve had a pretty positive relationship with housework my entire life, as my own mom tried to make it fun for us kids. We had responsibilities, but not too many - and were encouraged to take pride in our work. That being said, there are times when I grumble and don’t have a positive attitude about it! ❤️

This would not work for all children. But I loved school and my parents said my bed must be made or I could not go to school I loved rearranging my room also. The only problem I had was I always messed it up rather quickly. I wasn't a hanger upper. Now I retired in 2013 and learned lots of new tricks from Marie Kondo and RU-vid. We both work and keep our home organized and clean. Love retirement. When we both worked raising two boys, husband traveled it was sometimes chaos.

@ArrowHillCottage Год назад

That’s a great tip! You’re right…might not work for all kids though! Ha ha!

@RTAV108 Год назад

I agree. The host's voice and pace have an equal impact as that of the content of the video. I would stop watching a cleaning n organising or any home making video if I am unable to bear the fast paced blabbering of an overenthusiastic high pitched host/hostess, even thought they might have some good info/visuals to share. I guess the voice and the pace should naturally complement the content ie here you are sharing the tips to minimalism and clean tidy space, so naturally you are expected to radiate same calming soothing effect through your narration too. This is why I like your channel. No mismatch :) 👍🏼

It never occurred to me that I could choose to make everyone’s bed and feel better. I do make my own, but I have this low-grade irritation that others don’t or won’t pull their space together. I may give this a trial run! My favorite chore is setting my own room in order. :)

This is lovely, but I like the idea of parent and kid doing it together better. My mom cleaned my room every Friday. I loved how it looked! But if she had waited under after school and we had done it together, maybe I would've learned how to do it myself and to enjoy the time we spent together...

@jameshopkins7507 9 месяцев назад

What has worked best for is something small. My policy is, as I go through my time when I am in the house, "Wipe down as you go." Whenever I am using an area, I quickly wipe it down when I am done or quickly rearrange whatever I messed up. My aim to leave the area as clean as when I got there. If i see something, I see something. Letting everything accumulate (oh, I'll clean on the weekends) was my downfall. Loved your video.

@ArrowHillCottage 9 месяцев назад

This is very true - letting things piled up for the weekend has never worked well for me either! ❤️

@baileyblount281 Год назад

You have a very calm voice that I enjoy listening to. One thing that has made my life feel far more calm and under control is to do at least one load of laundry every day. I fold and hang clothes as I take them out of the dryer. I rarely have a pile of laundry and when I do it’s because my grandson wants his two blankets washed. I am still working on a place for everything and getting rid of more. Great video 🎉🎃

@theresabrown1272 Год назад

Great video. I thoroughly enjoy my home . Over the last few years I’ve worked on developing habits . I have 4 that are second nature in the morning . My favorite cleaning habit is vacuuming .. I find it very satisfying .. I think because you can see the dirt as you empty the dust cup.. I usually vacuum 3 times a week and I’m constantly amazed at what I pick up.. I don’t mind cleaning the toilet at all. I do this about 4-5 days a week.. the reason I do is because it’s extremely easy to maintain. I throw in a few squirts of dish soap and baking soda and it’s sparkling .. the task I detest is cleaning the bathtub/shower.. grrr… I think because it’s so physically tiring ..

@ArrowHillCottage Год назад

Seeing all the physical evidence that things were cleaned - by emptying out the vacuum…soooo fun! ❤️

@barbaravall6322 10 месяцев назад

My neighbor is an immaculate, professional cleaner. When I moved in he gave me a tip: squirt some of the liquid cleaner he gave me (great and doesn't smell, but I'll try your soap and soda). Let it wait 3-5 minutes. Then get use a heavy duty Scotchbrite (they're no longer abrasive) to lightly, easily wipe it away. I'm old so I take my socks off and do it from inside the tub, sometimes before or after a bath or shower. Sparkly clean! Not tiring anymore!

@juliajs1752 Год назад

@CoftheIsland370 Год назад

Wow! I found you a few days ago and this was the first video I did. That tip about using podcasts has made a HUGE difference! I never look forward to putting laundry away (I don't mind folding and putting it on hangers but the next step of actually putting it away has been a point of inertia for me). Now I am doing it with such gusto that I even continue on to other loathed tasks such as cleaning blinds.

@ArrowHillCottage Год назад

That’s awesome! I look forward to those mundane tasks a little more now too! ❤️

@barbaravall6322 10 месяцев назад

Aha! Me too. Now I make a point of admiring my folded, sorted, not-too-many socks, underwear, sweaters. Sometimes if I'm too tired after hauling several kilos of clean laundry up 3 flights of stairs from the common laundry room. Then I rest a little (but not so long that I forget about the stuff) and while resting think about and look forward to SEEING how carefully and beautifully it was done; magically it's no longer such a drag when I get up from resting and do it right away. The well-done easy task becomes a reward... HOW ON EARTH did you do the blinds with gusto??? Please let me know! I've put it off for several years now!

I just happened to see this video in my feed, and I’m so glad I watched it. There is tremendous wisdom in everything you said! I have very serious chronic health issues, so it isn’t possible for me to spend a day cleaning…so any time I am up, I am cleaning small areas. Like a kitchen cabinet with food on it. Very small jobs that when you add them together it is a lot!! I also established “no clutter zones” in our home, mainly horizontal spaces like the kitchen counters and table and the dining table. So everywhere else was livable space. I also changed my mindset. When I see an untidy area, instead of thinking, “what a mess,” I think, “LIFE is happening in our home!” And that is a good thing!!

Thank you for your tips! I really like the one about rearranging furniture. I find that to be so true! It also gives new life to old spaces. Its amazing what a couch in a spot will do mentally :D I do have a tip. I have been able to shorten my time to get ready for work by doing ahead certain tasks that wouldve added a few extra minutes to rush time. Premake the coffee. Put it on a timer if you have one, or at least fill up the water & add your coffee grounds before hand. I also even pick out what I'm going to wear for the next few days! Socks, undergarments, tank tops, pants, work uniform. Whatever your outfit is, pick it out in advance so that you arent wasting so much time deciding what you're gonna wear. That was a big game changer! I keep my clothes in bins on the last shelf of my book case near the bed so it's just easy to pull from & I don't need traditional drawers that way. Anyway, those are my big 2 tips. I also rly like what you said about enjoying your space. It's easy to let it go but if you LIKE where you are in your environment, that's going to make you a happy person! Probably, anyway. Sorry for the long comment, I babble forever :D Thanks for sharing your content! New subscriber here!

I enjoy organizing/reorganizing drawers, closets, fridge, freezer. Like OKay's mother's nightly motto. The audio book while tackling the chore least liked is a great idea.

Before leaving the home- I stand at the room door,(just one minute) to check and switch off ,mainly -- lights,fans,A/C or Heater, Laptop, study table lights! Then go to another room , and repeat ! AND kitchen-- I Check the Gas! It takes( total) maximum Five minutes but we know---that we will be safe,! 🙏

I really like your argument that tasks that we have to do normally dont take a lot of time and that we should not let them pile up. this always happens to me when I need to clean the bathroom and once I've done it I am always surprised how quickly I was finished that I shouldnt have procrastinated so long! I really liked this video and your home looks lovely. I look forward to more videos from you ❤️

When my kids were younger I gave them a list. They would trade jobs that they preferred

I just discovered your channel 😊. Good tips. Subscribed. Another minimalist I watch says "don't put it down put it away." I try to follow that. I also do what I call putting the house to bed for the night. It does make things more peaceful.

Making everyone's beds is good until they get to college and they don't know how to make a bed, do laundry and other basic chores. I'm not trying to be mean. There were several girls that went to college with my daughter and they didn't have a clue how to do the basic chores. I really felt sorry for them. I can't imagine how they felt. I love your channel, by the way.

@ArrowHillCottage Год назад

Maybe I could give them one day a week to practice ;) I just love it so much! Don’t worry though, I’m not their maid! They do know how to do chores. I think in a pinch all the kids could pull together a decently made bed - but it wouldn’t be up to my ‘standard’ ha ha! ❤️😂

@lilbit2274 Год назад

@@ArrowHillCottage Yes. That sounds like a good idea. I understand what you're saying. :)

One thing I changed that made toilet cleaning easier was to put antibacterial wipes next to the toilet- I clean it much more often and don’t begrudge the cost.

@ArrowHillCottage 10 месяцев назад

Interesting! I suppose that doesn’t really help the cleaning of the bowl part, but it’s half the work! ❤️

@andersdottir1111 10 месяцев назад

@@ArrowHillCottage I throw vinegar around the bowl, wipe the outside of the toilet while it does it’s work then swish around with the brush - done ✅
